Manuel is one of those characters in San Nicolaas, Aruba, that makes the place an interesting setting. He was born in Cuba and after Castro’s gang ruined his family, Manuel came to Aruba, where despite being 92 years old, he still works.

In San Nicolaas with Manuel.

I nick-named him “pops” because he has that look and a nicer guy is hard to find. Long life and much health to you, pops!
